Where's Zeddy

The Canberra Times is reporting that boo hoo young Zeddy is not at all happy for it to be known that Chief Minister Sonic found him hiding in down in Maccarthur.

Of course Zeddy denies that he has been rallying the troops around him in relation to the power station… oh no… of course it’s totally irrelevant that the proposed power station will devalue his property prices when it is built just 600m meters away.

Now lets see now how many Libby MLAs live in electorates they don’t represent…

* Zeddy – Lives in Brindabella represents Molonglo
* Jacky – Lives in Brindabella represents Molonglo
* Pratty – Lives in Molonglo represents Brindabella

Are there anymore?

What about all these aspiring new Libby candidates? How many of ’em live outside the electorate they are gonna be representing… from what I hear it’s quite a few!

What dirt? That Stanhope has commissioned a statue of himself? That Pratt was…himself? That Barr will be putting the clothes back in the wardrobe? That Smyth has been seen coming out of Advanced Hair Studio?

I have this where feeling that election08 has forgotten about the electoral disclosure and investigative powers of the AEC.
Especially in election years. Can he please point me to the name of the orginator and the accompanying authorization statement, as well as the physical address for the office this was okayed by?
Thanks in advance, Rpkid.

Could Steve Pratt be worse than John Hargreaves? Come to think of it, could ANY government be worse than the current lot?

Minister Pratt haha, imagine Minister Burke or the child-like Minister Smyth back. Good grief!

I agree with Farq….Pratt as a minister is a horrible thought. Thankyou Farq, I will not be able to sleep tonight.

What does Pratt do?

honestly, what does he do?

All I remember of Steve Pratt is the whole overseas incident, he was an “aid” worker who got pinged for spying. Aust Govt stepped in and he came here.

Next thing, he is a liberal member.

He was speaking at a rally when the save our schools campaign was running. great words, he even told us where Jon was likely to be having coffee on Saturday morning. didn’t suggest a vote by the people to see whether we wanted schools closed, though, did he?

I see that there is a new candidate for the ALP, David matthews. what does anyone know about him?

that’d be because the CT recognise the CAP as the policy free joke that it is mike….

The local Community Alliance Candidate (James Sizer) had quite a bit to say about it when interviewed sepi, but then for some reason the Canberra Times saw fit not to print any of it. Funny that….

I hope those residents who are worried about ‘noxious fumes’ (too funny sepi) have switched off the ducted gas heating in their McMansions.

Short quotes in the paper today from aspiring MLAs were interesteting.

Shane RAttenbury from teh Greens was the ONly one who seemed impressive.

It was on what they thought of the power station, but lots of them just seemed to either say something obvious, or totally miss the point.

Where the MLAs live is not going to be an issue. I agree with some postings – the electorate will run with the dunderheads they know. Stanhope will do a “Beattie” and come out victorious. He’ll form the next government with the support of independents. I can see Labor winning 7 (maybe even 8), Liberals 6, Greens at least 1 and 2-3 other independents. This is the election to run as an independent as you’ll pick up those who voted Labor last time but won’t this time, but just can’t stomach the Liberals (which is a large slab of the broader electorate). This will be seen to be the election of lost opportunity for the Liberals. They will be the biggest losers as they’ll fail to capitalise on disaffection with Labor. Mulcahy won’t get over the line as an independent, as he has alienated a lot of Liberals, so his natural base is now extremely low and he just isn’t going to pick up disaffected Labor voters. I can’t see any of the new Liberal candidates getting over the line ahead of the known candidates.

Zed has been in MarArthur for more than 6 months.

Sonic lives in a gated community in Bruce.

Has Zed only just moved to macarthur?

I don’t really get it either. Are they saying that Zed only cares about the power station because he lives there?

As far as I’ve noticed, noone in Macarthur has complained about the view of the powerstation, only about noxious fumes and the noise.

i think the point stanhope was making with this was that zed had no problem buying a house in macarthur when he knew about the power station and is now being shown up as a hypocrite rather than there being any conflict of interest from zeds perspective

I’m not quite sure of the ultimate meaning of this amusing photo, but I’m glad they left the daggy suit shoes on with the jeans, it looks so awful.

aww you even kept the picture you made especially for your last bullsht post.

I don’t care where Zed lives, all us and the other 87% of Canberrans want is rid of Stanhopeless.

If Zed was the only person in Macarthur to be whinging about the power plant you may have just had a point. Personally I don’t give a stuff about the power plant, I don’t remember Macarthur complaining that they can also see the tip from there too, what’s different about a power plant? Bit fishy about the site selection, but it’s worried stanhopeless and “election08” to start this rubbish, its just as bad as Stanhope yesterday saying the liberals are “holding up significant legislation” and “don’t worry the teachers will still get paid even though the legislation got held up” by the no confidence motion in the incompetent minister.

What’s Stanhope’s address…I’d like to pop around for a cuppa.

Stanhope is just trying to divert attention again, he hasn’t had a good week after all. Schoolyard stuff really… time for a minority government to keep the children in line.

Even if none of us like the labor government, can you imagine Pratt being a minister? God help us!

The ACT Liberals will have to get their stuff together. Voters are a canny lot and just because Stanhope and Labor has got form as long as your arm, it dosn’t necessarily mean that the electorate will flock to the Liberals.

Some policies would be a start. The ability to manage their competing egos, infighting, back-stabbing and hissy fits would build confidence. They certainly have their work cut out for them and if they fall short we run the risk of having a legislative assembly where nutters like Richard Mulchay and assuming that they get enough donkey votes, CAP hold the balance of power.

I suspect that just like the federal election where Labor pinned its hopes on Mark Latham, the voters may well decide the risks of changing jockeys are simply unacceptable and it is safer to stick with the dunderheads whe have.

the-leak
swallow? i didnt say i supported him but just stated that even if he sat there and did nothing, for a month, locked away in a dark cupboard the libs will self destruct – tryin to out do themselves with empty one liners and average advertising campaigns

if labor are gonna get booted this time around, it will take the f-up fairy on the labor side and some good team work for the libs

what you reckon?

Complete tripe. Who gives a…

DawnDrifter, problem is, looks like you swallow Stanhope’s motions rather confidently with your talk like that…maybe if the ACT media didn’t have such a labor bias, all non-labor parties would be better off, and have their “attack” on labor portrayed as well in the media as labor’s constant diarrhoea is.

Snot, you’re right, Stanhope is really scraping the barrel now. If we can just ban donations from clubs that generate income from pokies we would all be much better off!

Bring on minority Government I say!

“Zeddy is not at all happy for it to be known that Chief Minister Sonic found him hiding in down in Maccarthur”

So how do you hide in down in Macarthur: wrap yourself up in a doona?

Most of the Labor Govt spent 18th Jan 2003 hiding under their doonas, or at a local cafe with a latte in one hand, so they can hardly talk. 😉

snot, problem is even if stanhope sat there and said nothing the libs are collectively utterly useless and uncoordinated in their attacks… may have a couple of individual stars but as a team they are s&^thouse. they have a very amateur feel to them every time i see them on tv.. just my opinion

Talk about pitching a trouser tent over nothing. Who cares where a pollie lives? It’s dissappointing that Stanhope’s had to stoop so low – he should keep his poo flinging for issues that have some sort of substance.

You’re on the money there miz, there’s a growing groundswell of voters who will turn their backs on Labor if they cave in to a noisy minority on the data centre-powerstation issue.

I can see it already…election 08 (definitely a labor stooge working out of Barr’s (_x_) oh i meant office) is going to spend every waking moment between now and the election finding ways to talk down the “Libby’s” – who the fuck are the Libby’s anyway? Is that a new Libby Lenton Political Party or something? Get a fucking life and grow a personality, and some balls too while you’re at it.

I’d say that given that the abovementioned MLA’s have represented their people far better than the ALP, then the point you make is lame and impotent to say the least [I’m sure everyone saw how pathetic Mick Gentleman looked at the ActewAGL Info session held on April 28 – see http://www.canberravotes.com/2008/04/proposed-actewagl-powerstation-in-tuggeraning/ to see Mick in (non) action.

Bring on minority Government I say!!!

Stanhope’s just worried that we will all find out that he saved Kaleen High (as he was living there then!!)

Any decent pollie would be having another think about the location of the gas station at this point, and finding somewhere more suitable. (If Stanhope is not doing this, he is clearly politically suicidal.)

Clown Killer2:39 pm 20 Jun 08

Who really cares where they live, as long as they can get their poo together to form the next government an get rid of Stanhope.

You idiots. Its this sort of negative campaigning that really gets the goat of people who on the whole are quite ammeniable to your cause.

For your next crack at the title may I suggest you revisit the hamburger ads used by the ALP in the ’96 election to knock the now implemented GST? That is how you sand bag properly without looking like a gimp.

No chip on your shoulder, is there?
